The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy of Konoha's main thoroughfare, dappling the cobblestones with shifting light and shadow.

You look up into dark, inscrutable eyes. Sasuke Uchiha holds your gaze for a weighted moment before letting go. "Watch your step," he says, his voice a low murmur. He turns to leave—then hesitates, glancing back over his shoulder at you.
